At Your DNA Song, we isolate your genetic signature and translate its sequence into musical pitch and rhythm.

DNA & Sound

Translating DNA into music

What is the history DNA music?

DNA music has been developed since the early 1970's when
Geneticists found it easier to read the long strands of
DNA code by assigning musical pitches to the 22 Amino
Acids. This allowed them to compare DNA, look for
mutations, and reverse engineer these tones back into
proteins. This opened the way for more musical
scientists to develop the system further until today
where DNA music is now being taken very seriously by
composers and musicians as a new form and medium of the
music industry.

Prof. Susumu Ohno (of Beckman Research Institute of the
City of Hope, who died on January 13, 2000, at the age
of 71) proposed years ago that the repetition process
governs both the musical composition and the DNA
sequence construction . see this paper by Ohno in
Immunogenetics (1986) titled: "The all pervasive
principle of repetitious recurrence governs not only
coding sequence construction but also human endeavor in
musical composition".

Dr. David W. Deamer is professor of
Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of
California, Santa Cruz. Dr. Deamer has a life-long
interest in the relation between art and science, and
was among the first to recognize that musical patterns
could be translated from base sequences in DNA. He has
collaborated with Susan Alexjander, a Santa Cruz
musician/composer, in publishing several tapes and CDs
of DNA music.

Regular patterns and sequences of notes exist throughout
music, from the pitches of a scale to the rhythms of a
song. The same goes for the building blocks of life.
Patterns govern the way molecules fit together to
construct a DNA molecule or a protein strand. When these
patterns are "translated" into the patterns of music,
some of them contain very interesting melodies and
rhythms. DNA music is a new and unique way of
experiencing the complexity of life.

What does DNA music sound like

The translation of DNA code into
music is a lengthy process, but the final production results in
music of great beauty and expression. We always put the music
style, instrumentation and overall 'feel' in the hands of our
clients and every DNA song has our clients own musical
preferences embeded in the music itself.

Please enjoy these DNA music samples
of some of our most recent clients.

Reviews & testimonials

"I love my DNA music, it is amazing to hear my own
individual song that is inside of me. Thank you Stuart for
this wonderful gift in my life"

P. Gordon - Client #4

"UK composer Stuart Mitchell created a full orchestra
version of my DNA song from my genetic code processed by the
folks at 23andMe. This is so beautiful! The music in me (as
translated by Stuart Mitchell) is beautiful"
